Just a reminder, this is an impeachable offense. Completely baseless claims by the president against the very foundations of American democracy.

A new study has found that the National Guard's presence in Washington, D.C. had no effect on violent crime in the city. The Guard has been deployed since last August as part of a federal task force to fight crime, and their numbers are set to double in the coming weeks. n.pr/3PWDxqK

This, by itself, is an impeachable offense. What is more corrosive than attacking the very foundations of American democracy with absurd, spurious claims that elections are illegitimate?

Trump’s stooges are talking about Trump “ending multiple conflicts” when it comes to the Iran War, without noting that he unilaterally, illegally started it.

It seems we are now entering a new phase of the rise of inequality in the US. It's not just wealth and billionaires — it's a broader acceleration. Here's who benefited from economic growth in 2025, according to the latest estimates available on realtimeinequality.org

Just a reminder that Bari Weiss runs a publication called “The Free Press”. It’s clear she and her allies were hypocrites all along.

It’s not a vibecession anymore

Yes, it’s true. We’re all spending more money on stuff. Too bad it’s the same amount of stuff or less.

Classic Freudian slip

Remember when Republicans and centrists pretended to be outraged when Obama gently chided Fox News in an interview?

The average gas price when Biden left office was $3.11. It’s currently $4.50. The only time in Biden’s administration when it was higher than now was 2 months in the summer of 2022 right after Russia invaded Ukraine.

I’m generally skeptical of “one weird trick” solutions, but this seems pretty close…

New NYT poll has Dems +11 in the generic House ballot matchup. Among independents it's +18 points. If accurate, that has the makings of a blue wave and I wonder if it gets South Carolina Republicans to rethink their gerrymander before it's too late.

Exhibit 1A in how money and connections have nothing to do with intelligence or common sense.

Farmers elected Trump to make them rich

This really can’t be right, I was told that Trump won the Iran War!

This is why slopulism is bad. Sometimes the solutions that actually work don't have the snappiest messaging!

This can't be right, I was told Trump solved the Hormuz problem

I don’t seem to recall Bash or any other members of the MSM asking Trump comparable questions after the assassination attempt on Pelosi, or the mail bombs sent to every top prominent Democratic politician, or the successful assassination of the top Minnesota Democratic legislator, …

The Trump family turned the right's "Biden Crime Family" bullshit into a business plan. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

Sorry, even offering RFK jr the benefit of the doubt… how does this make any sense? Did he mean 6000% reduction?

Bhattacharya, who has taken contrarian positions against the scientific establishment about covid for years, has unilaterally decided to censor a study providing evidence of covid vaccine effectiveness. This is who runs America’s public health agencies now. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

The median American voter believes Trump should be impeached, so clearly all the centrist enlightened pundits will say we should heed the wisdom of the people, right?

That's before we get into the value destruction being caused by the deadweight loss and the inevitable interest effects. Donald Trump and his rich buddies stole your fucking money

How do upzonings impact housing supply? In brand-new research published today @urbaninstitute.bsky.social, we show that big upzonings in New York City & Philadelphia had large, statistically significant effects on supply & permitting with several years of reforms. www.urban.org/research/pub...

Keep stats like this in mind every time Republicans boast about how great Texas and Florida are and how the Northeast is such a hellhole.

Trump is being fed bad information. The US might be leading China in AI, but if it is, it’s not by a lot, and the company doing the leading is Anthropic, which the Trump admin doesn’t like!

So, it’s absolutely true that there is a theory of just war. And under that theory Trump is absolutely not fighting a just war.

Oh, Rick Scott wants to punish rapists does he? Has he considered who the leader of his political party is?

Who exactly is responsible for her husband’s cancer treatments being unaffordable?

1) in general, politicians should take their salary, as it should not be expected that you have to be rich to be a politician. 2) Obviously, Trump doesn't take the presidential salary because he gets his cut by selling influence using the power of his office. In other words, bribes.

As always, every accusation from Republicans is a confession.

Kernen’s entire argument that Biden oversaw 22% increases in prices is wrecked by the fact that much of that was due to the massive amount of money Trump injected into the economy in 2020.

This is stolen valor. Not a single Republican in power today had anything to do with America’s actions in World War 2. And no one is saying Europeans would be speaking Farsi if America didn’t decide to attack Iran.

This is what Republican governance gets you. Higher inflation, higher unemployment, and sluggish gdp growth.

I agree with this, and go slightly further: all the people yelling about nukes is setting the stage for “relief” when Trump merely uses conventional weapons to blow up power plants and lead to slow mass death instead of fast mass death. Let’s not give Trump that benefit, even inadvertently.

Foreign interference you say?

The psychological projection is getting a bit thick

It's funny how the popularists will never mention this highly unpopular policy in the Trump administration and how Republicans need to run away from it ASAP.

Is there any precedent in history where a country starts a war against a vastly weaker country, and loses within a month?

Trump take game console

If you actually listen to this clip... it's hard to believe that someone incapable of keeping a consistent thought for 10 seconds controls unilateral nuclear launch authority, and now apparently also has unilateral authority to launch wars against any country he pleases.

The Trump administration is a massive insider trading operation, on top of whatever else it is they are doing.

Volume in stock and oil futures surged minutes before Trump’s market-turning post

I joke about this stuff but 15 minutes before the Trump post hit the tape there was a surge in e-mini price and volume. Someone knew and traded.

This is the second fatal plane crash of a major carrier under Trump 2.0 (and 3rd hull loss accident). In both cases they were due to failures in ATC procedures, not mechanical issues. There were no such accidents under Biden. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...

I’m looking forward to all the right-wing natalists pushing WFH now /s

oh look at that www.pew.org/en/research-...

Ah, well, it’s great that the US isn’t known as being a country full of people who love to buy things. Nope, Americans are famously frugal!
